I recently gained 15 pounds on a bulk. In that time I added 25 pounds to my weighted pullup. I went from 5 reps at 175 with 25 extra pounds, to 5 reps at 190 with 50 extra pounds. If I'm not...

Cardio isn't necessary, feel free to do it, but you could create that same caloric deficit by eating less. Keep lifting heavy, I did a less drastic transformation and lost a lot of muscle on the...

Haha I have 14ish inch arms and 17 inch calves, careful what you wish for (although I guess nobody wishes for small arms). I directly train them infrequently, at most once a week. I've been walking...

You could floor press your dumbbells. If you progress, generally speaking, your body will reflect your results.

It is just a response to a heavy load or a breathing issue. Take full breaths and focus. Do not attempt a weight that is so difficult you stagger, although light-headedness is fine.

I'll end up doing 300-500 pushups and around 50 pullups (My gym is closed on good Friday) instead of my normal push/pull workout. I intend on squatting heavy the next day unless I'm persuaded...

As long as you are progressing on benchpress/dips/#of pushups there is no reason to do pushups throughout the day.

Good job on the weight loss - depending on your goals 10 pounds may be shy of what you want to lose. Everyone has bad workouts periodically, or quick stints where they dont raise the weight on the...

Re-read. Perhaps consider a new source.

Sounds like you've made decent progress with more or less no idea what you're doing. Congratulations - start reading though.

Everyone gets dizzy sometimes when they exert themselves. ...

There are a pile of external factors that affect vascularity, many of which are independent of your macro intake/workout. Skin tightness and lighting are fairly critical, but those are fairly...

Unless you're some sort of lighting wizard just do whatever you did when you took your profile picture. It should take you +/- 2 months assuming 1 pound a week of fat loss, getting that low isn't...

Definitely. I never plan them, just let things take their course and I usually take a 5-9 days off a couple of times a year. I almost always come back stronger (immediately +5 pounds on compounds).

Without knowing your stats and your calorie/macro intake, its sort of hard to make a valid contribution. As an anecdote, I worked a similar job (carpentry) with similar hours. Excessive coffee and...

There's your problem, re-asses your goals. You'll be much happier. Not a lot of people get to that level of body fat, especially not at 14.


You may want to look at your definition of fit...

You need to up your fat intake, and you could stand to lower your protein intake. The additional fats and carbs will help with satiety. That said, your weight loss is a function of caloric balance....

There's no need for you to be hungry, and not counting macros (at least for a beginner) is almost always a bad idea. Read the nutrition stickies, you'll learn about 'cleanliness' and a variety of...

Assuming you aren't completely lying about your stats, you are lifting heavier than most people on here. Congratulations, especially for 15. Granted you do weigh alot, that will change for the...

Quick flaw in your thinking - the degree to which you are golden is considerably different. For most people 6 meals a day takes up a lot of time and energy. Given all the research and anecodtal...

Not really sure what you're asking. As a blanket statement: Eat the same amount (roughly) everyday. Hit your target macros. Timing is not essential to your progress. BCAA's may or may not help,...
